Download the Curriculum Statement for Modern Foreign Languages

Academic year 2023-24

The Modern Foreign Languages Department at Wykham Park Academy seeks to promote a deeper understanding of the international world by developing communication skills and the application of new language structures to different contexts. Students learn how to manipulate new language successfully so they can communicate clearly verbally and in written form.

They also learn how to develop collaborative learning skills so they can support each other with the understanding and application of new concepts. Students are encouraged to use resources such as vocabulary lists and grammatical explanations to work independently. They are also provided with clear criteria that enable them to understand their learning and the progress they are making. Access to authentic sources helps students to better understand the culture of the countries where the language is spoken and encourages curiosity and engagement.

As students approach each new topic there is an opportunity for them to develop their reading comprehension skills using academic and literary texts to endorse the school ethos of ‘Every child a reader’. These sessions also provide a springboard for discussions on how we embrace diversity, which is explored at various stages throughout the course.
